Ultra-high-field MRI surpasses 3 T MRI in pituitary microadenoma detection and enables more precise delineation with higher correlation with intraoperative findings. Thus, 7 T sellar imaging is a promising option-especially in previously magnetic resonance-negative patients with endocrinologically confirmed hormone oversecretion-and helps reduce the need for invasive diagnostics.
